TING! [Surprise mission triggered!]

[Mission: Get Zhao Yang\'s phone number. Time limit: before you go home.]

[Warning: The punishment for not doing the mission will be \'Not talking to Zhao Yang for a week.\' Good luck, player!]

Lai Jiayi rolled her eyes. White foams seeped out of her lips.

[WHY?! Why the heck do we get a surprise mission at times like this??] Lai Jiayi looked at Yaya with dead eyes. The girl felt like her organs were going to burn even when it was cold outside.

[Uh, calm down, quack! If our plan goes right, you can ask for Zhao Yang\'s phone number, too, quack!!] Yaya wailed. The duck stuck to the back of Lai Jiayi\'s neck so that the girl would calm down.

Lai Jiayi had turned off the protective layer, ways before Yaya released the gas. So, the duck could finally touch her.

[...right. If I can raise the barometer by a lot today and make Zhao Yang trust me, I can get his phone number.] Lai Jiayi took a deep breath and sighed.

\'Calm down. The time limit is quite long. At least, I can control it by not going home before I get Zhao Yang\'s number.\'

Lai Jiayi squeezed her eyes. The girl was trying to calm her emotion when Zhao Yang suddenly spoke,

"Miss Lai? Is that the cafe you mentioned?" Zhao Yang poked Lai Jiayi\'s cheek. He thought that she still wore a protective layer…

When she\'s not.

\'...damn. She\'s not wearing the layer!\'

Zhao Yang retracted his hand, and Lai Jiayi flinched. She immediately looked at Zhao Yang and saw the guy pointing at a small café not far from their place as his ears reddened.

The cafe looked a bit old-fashioned, unlike the chic café that Lai Jiayi visited with Zhao Yun and Zhao Yang.

The cafe really looked similar to Shan\'s family internet cafe. It had an ancient yet warm vibe. It was located on their left side, so they could just get off from the moving footwalk and enter the place.

! That café! We are here!

Lai Jiayi nodded. The girl gripped her bike handle and spoke, "Y-yes, boss. That\'s the cafe. W-we should get off when we pass it."

"Alright, " Zhao Yang shortly answered as he observed the cafe they were going to visit.

\'This is the first time I visit such an old-fashioned cafe.\'

Zhao Yang rubbed his chin.

Usually, he would go to a cafe with Zhao Yun, and since the boy liked the futuristic style, he would always choose a modern-looking cafe rather than an ancient one like this.

Though, Zhao Yang preferred the ancient vibe more than the modern.

The man was thinking about Zhao Yun\'s preference in visiting a café when Lai Jiayi suddenly tugged his sleeve.

He looked to the left to see the girl was looking at the café right beside them. She didn\'t seem to realize she just tugged his sleeve.

"W-we are here. L-let\'s get off." Lai Jiayi released Zhao Yang\'s sleeve and walked away from the footwalk. She pushed her bike with her, and now she was out of the footwalk.

It was easy to get off from the footwalk since it had the same height as the ground around it.

"Mmm." Zhao Yang also walked away from the footwalk. He chased after Lai Jiayi along with Tianjin behind him.

"T-this is the café I mentioned…" Lai Jiayi introduced the café as she parked her bicycle at the corner of the small parking lot in front of the cafe.

The parking lot was basically the front yard of the café. It could only contain two to three bikes or bicycles.

"Daily Smile Café, huh." Zhao Yang murmured as he looked up at the sign of the cafe. One could see an image of a young girl smiling to the fullest, as the logo of the café.

"L-let\'s go in." Lai Jiayi waved her hand as she pushed the glass door. Since the café adopted an ancient style, it didn\'t have an automatic door.

The moment Lai Jiayi pushed the door, her heart suddenly tightened. Her mind spun a bit, and everything felt slightly dizzy.

! What\'s this??

[Yaya, I feel uncomfortable– ]

[It\'s the gas effect, quack. No worries, that\'s only for a moment, quack.] Yaya reassured Lai Jiayi as he entered the square café.

A warm air immediately greeted him, along with a soft bell noise.

TING TING.

The sight of a mocha-based wall appeared in front of the group. The smell of coffee and tea lingered in the air, and slow music played in the background.

Lai Jiayi subconsciously gasped. She looked at the café interior in awe, even forgetting the uncomfortable feeling she felt before.

The same went for Zhao Yang. The guy frowned when he sensed something was wrong with his body, but then, once he saw the café\'s interior, his heart felt warm.

\'This…\'

Zhao Yang\'s eyes glistened. One could see it reddened a bit.

\'This café looks so similar to the one I used to visit with Biyu.\'

Zhao Yang slightly opened his mouth. His eyes scanned the two sets of wooden tables near the glass door.

Those tables were on his left side, adorned with black leather sofas. On the right side, one could see a small bar-like counter where the baristas made their drinks.

But, at this moment, there\'s no one there. Not even a customer, even when the café wasn\'t closed.

\'Why is this place so empty?\'

Zhao Yang was just about to ask Tianjin when Lai Jiayi suddenly spoke.

"Mmm...l-let\'s sit?" The girl took the table at the corner of the café and sat there.

\'The gas has taken effect. I should hurry!\'
